NCP (AP) may contest 8 seats in Nashik
The Free Press Journal|October 17, 2024
In the 15 assembly constituencies in Nashik district, a notable contest between the Mahayuti alliance and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition is expected.
NCP (AP) may contest 8 seats in Nashik

With most current MLAs anticipated to seek re-election, it remains uncertain which candidates the MVA will nominate against them. In the last election, the undivided Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) won six seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured five, the undivided Shiv Sena won two, Congress gained one, and the All-India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) won one seat each. After the splits in Shiv Sena and NCP, two Shiv Sena MLAs joined the Shinde faction, and six NCP MLAs joined Ajit Pawar's group. Hiraman Khoskar, formerly the only Congress MLA in the region, recently joined Ajit Pawar's faction.
